[quote=Anonymous]So mostly a vent..

Little back story. The family I babysit for (once a week on a set night), I used to nanny for. This was about 2 yrs ago. I have a new nanny family now that I've been with for the 2 yrs.

The babysitting family is due to have #2 any day. Mom is not out on maternity, but will be soon. My one night babysitting will end, which I'm ok with.  During my last night, the parents told me their birth plan. They wanted a specific day for the c section, but got another that happens to me in the middle of the week.

Now all other days I work later, well not late but after the babysitting family daycare closes. I set it up that that one preset day I get off early enough to pick up babysitting kid from daycare.

So back to my last babysitting night, birth plan blah blah. We're talking, I'm getting my shoes and items ready to go (as I worked all day, then pick up their kid and worked again). And the mom says so you can pick up little Betty and we want her to stay on her same schedule, so daycare all day while she's in the hospital, kid goes home with ME (her home), I then would have to take her to day the next day.

Really. I would have to take off early and ask to come in late (daycare and my nanny family are not close to each other). They just assumed I would take off the time! Its like days away!

I told her oh I can't take off work, especially with such short notice. They seemed shocked. 
I get a text later saying well they loved having me watch their kid and they hope I can from time to time again or if I don't want to I can make up some more excuses to why I can't.

Seriously! [/quote]
